Feels like aaaaaaages since I've been on here! :waves:
So decided I'd rewatch UB to get ready for S29, and now it's really got me in the mood to watch "The Season That Shan't Be Named" :peek Only watched it once when it first aired, so I'm really hoping a second viewing might actually do it justice. ???
I mean, surely it CAN'T be as bad as I remember .......................................... Can it?? :groan:

Welcome back NMC!
I really enjoyed S18. Not so much on S24, but everyone I think here hated it (or, most of them anyway!) I hope your opinion changes!

Thanks for the warm welcome back BourkieBoy! :<3
So... Eh... Yeeeaaah.... Just watched Leg 1 again, and I don't know what to make of it?
I do like most of the teams, and tried to forget everything I hated about it, and start over, but I'm already sick of Rachel! :groan:
And the editing! (:;) It totally skips CaroJen, and JJ doing the RB, and misses half the teams finish the Start Line task, which I still feel should've held some kind of penalty for the last team.
The tasks....... Find a shop, pick a bubble, do a spin, Pitstop! :gaah: Awful Leg design! This is All Stars!!!
I'm debating whether to even continue on, but I remember Leg 2 was actually pretty good, even though I'm definitely still bitter over Mark & Mallorys elimination. :lol:
G.B.:
I still like it.
Also I'm sure those cut parts would've been shown on air, had Bopper not had his medical scare and taken up more airtime.
Let me break it down how I see it: The first leg is indeed lackluster in design. It's not BAD, but it's also not good. But then again...
Leg 1 in TAR11? Pick up a clue, get a departure time, find a park and play with a horse for a little bit. Maybe it's a trend of All-Stars races? lol!
Anyway, the second leg was better, if marred by Mark & Mallory drama. Then the third and fourth legs were pretty terrible. However, we know that both of those legs were last-minute replacement legs. It wasn't entirely the producers' faults, and it's clear in some areas that they had to really rush to get a coherent leg together in time.
Legs after that get a lot better. In fact, the only issue I have beyond that is that they spend two legs in a country four times in a row. Just a nitpick really.
It's funny you bring this up now, because I have been rewatching TAR24 right now as well. I'm just about to hit the Switzerland leg. Over the past few months I've been rewatching old seasons in order to compile Clue-by-Clue leaderboards for our Wiki, and just now got to TAR24.
Check them out! They're so awesome!
NMC:
You've done an outstanding job on the Wiki, GB. :conf:
I forgot about TAR11 - But your right, it had a very poor first Leg, but hit its stride by Leg 2 / 3.
It's just a pity it was an All-Star Season that suffered the fate of production mishaps, such as the rescheduling of Legs, etc..
Staying in a country for 2 Legs really bugs me too, but I guess, with all the other problems it had, this is one of the lesser things wrong with the Season, IMO.
I'll stick it out, and watch a few more Legs, but the order of Elimination is pretty dire as well. :groan:
Guess one silver lining is I forgot how much I LOVED Mark & Mallory, although I remember Mark was almost universally hated after Leg 2. :escape
